What's wrong?
The lower knee airbag in the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque sits low on the driver-side dashboard, near the footwell. Its job is to help control leg movement during a crash, while the cover keeps the folded airbag cushion contained and protected until deployment.
On affected vehicles, the adhesive on the left-side lower knee airbag dust cover breaks down. As that bond weakens, the cover comes loose and the folded airbag cushion unfolds into view in the footwell. That means the airbag module is no longer packaged the way it was designed before a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. The visible clue is the loose cover or airbag cushion showing in the footwell, and that condition should be reported to a Land Rover dealer.
